Zelenskyy responds to China's proposals for Russia's war in Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is giving qualified support for some of China's new pronouncements about the war in his country, saying Beijing's interest is "not bad."

"China has shown its thoughts. I believe that the fact that China started talking about Ukraine is not bad," Zelenskyy said at a news conference on the one-year mark of the full-scale Russian invasion. "But the question is what follows the words. The question is in the steps and where they will lead to."

China called for a cease-fire and peace talks between Ukraine and Russia in a vaguely worded proposal released Friday that analysts said was unlikely to deliver results.
